Taking a look at the image above, as of 7pm Saturday, the Storm Prediction Center had put all of the viewing area under a Slight Risk (shaded in yellow) of severe storms for Sunday. Northeast Oklahoma is under a Moderate Risk of severe weather for Sunday.

Right now, here's what we think is going to happen...

We expect scattered showers and storms to move thru the viewing area throughout the morning and early afternoon on Sunday. Few, if any, of these storms appear likely to become severe. Though, some strong storms are certainly possible.

This initial thunderstorm activity will keep the atmosphere relatively capped for the rest of the day, until the evening and overnight hours when severe storms come knocking on our doorstep from Oklahoma.

The storms that form in Oklahoma will likely do the worst of their damage in, well... Oklahoma. This is because that's where the most heating will occur during the afternoon on Sunday (the more heat, the more energy for these storms).

However, when they reach Arkansas, it is still likely that damaging winds and large hail will occur here too. And given the favorable wind profiles, a few tornadoes will also be possible.

Bottom line, the potential for damaging storms will be high across the viewing area Sunday evening.

Keep it tuned to 40/29 throughout Sunday for the latest on these storms.
